Application tiled February 18, 1919. Serial 1U o. 276,757.

To all wlw/m t may concern Be it known that lt, CHARLES M. SANDERS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Guthrie, in the county of Logan and State of klahoma, have invented a new and use ful Necktie-Adjuster, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to necktie holders and its principal object is to provide a device which will overcome the tendency ofthe necktie to slip downwardly on the collar and thus expose the collar button.

A further object of the invention is to provide a necktie holder of the above char-- acter Which will positively retain the tie in position in the collar and at the same time prevent the flaps of the collar moving on the shank of the collar button.

t is anotherobject of the present invention to provide a necktie holder which is neat in appearance and which may be stamped and formed from a single strip of metal.

Another object of the invention resides in the provision of a necktie retaining device which may be readily placed in operative position on the collar and, which will Anot deface or injure the tie or collar.

titi

An additional object of the invention is to provide a necktie holder which will retain the necktie in a position where the collar button will be hidden from view and which is simple in construction, durable in use, and which may be manufactured and placed on the market at a minimum cost.

rlhe invention consists of constructions, formations, arrangements of parts and general assemblage which will behereinafter illustrated and described and explicitly dened inthe sub-joined claims.

ln the drawing Figure l is a fragmentary view of a collar and tie and showing my invention applied thereto.

Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view of a collar and showing my improved tie holder in operative position.

Fig. 3 is a perspective of the device.

Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral 5 designates a blank or sheet of metal from which my improved tie holder is formed. This sheet of metal is bent at right angles at 6 and thence bent again at right angles at 7 ,so as to provide a pair of oppositely extending legs which are offset from each other and extend in parallelism. This manner of bending the strip 5 aords a substantially Z shaped device. These legs are designated by the numerals 8 and 9.

The part 8 is provided with a V shaped slot l0 which receives the shank of the collar button. rfhe leg 9 extends upwardly from the button. As the leg 8 straddles the collar button at the head of the same and as the leg-9 bears against the knot of the tie it will be manifest that it will be impossible for the device to shift on the shank of the button and that the aps of the collar are held against movement.

The extremity of the leg 9 is formed with a notch ll which receives the knot of the tie and thus retains the same in proper position.

From the above-disclosure it will be manifest that in order to place the device in operative position it is only necessary to raise the tie after it has been properly tied and adjusted, and engage the shank of the collar button in the slot l0 of the leg 8 and allow the knot of the tie to rest in the notch ll of the leg 9.

, rlhis embodiment of the invention herein described and illustrated is merely for the purpose of villustrating my idea and it is to be understood that the construction may be modified and that my limits of modification are only governed by the sub-joined claims.

What is claimed is:

1. A tie holder of the character described formed from a strip of metal bent in substantially Z shaped formation, one end of the strip being formed with a slot adapted to receive the shank of the collar button, the opposite end of the strip being provided with a notch for the reception of the knot of the tie.

2. ln a tie holder, a strip of metal bent intermediate its ends to aord a pair of parallel oppositely extending legs which are o'set from each other, one of the legs being provided with a slot for the reception of a collar button, the remaining leg being provided with a notch adapted to receive the tie.

3. A necktieholder formed from a blank of metal bent at right angles intermediate its ends to provide a collar button engaging leg, the blank being bent again at right angles and extended reversely of the first named leg to afford a tie engaging leg, the button engaging leg and the tie engaging leg being offset from each other, each of the legs being provided with an opening to rellt@ oeive the shank of the collar button and the ranged to support the tie and also provided tie respectively. with a notch to receive the knot of the tie.
